Went with Gawdin here. Right hand shot. Seems to be projecting to be a bottom 6 utility player.
There are more exciting prospects left that have a higher potential ceiling, but at some point there is some value to the Bouma's and Jooris' of the world.
I'm a sucker for these "free" prospect signings. Most don't work out, but they provide a decent amount of value if they do. I think having a steady stream of these type of prospects is incredibly important in the salary cap era. It makes it a lot easier to walk away from a Colborne, Jankowski, Bouma, etc... arbitration. Being able to slot in a 700k player vs a 1.5 million player adds up.
